The biggest surprise for me was the https://hexbear.net count, an instance I hardly interact with.

    For starters, all liberals have Reddit and Lemmy.world, which are large. Where do leftists have?

    I agree that lemmy.world is a primarily liberal instance, but I haven’t seen the same level of censorship on lemmy.world as I have on hexbear, though I’m open to evidence to the contrary. You can create a space for a specific ideology without resorting to such an extreme level of censorship and lemmy.world is proof of that. Also see my home instance slrpnk.net, we’re a primarily anarchist instance and we haven’t had to resort to extreme censorship to achieve that.

    Secondly, this comment is indistinguishable from concern-trolling. I’d have to read through your post history or go back and forth with you to know if you were an honest actor or just a troll.

    By what method do you distinguish concern-trolling from legitimate concern? Concern-trolls generally want to shut down discussion, and the whole reason for my concern is that censorship shuts down discussion.

    Thirdly, most of us know your views, and have rejected them.

    They’re not my views, did you miss the part of my comment where I said I disagree with the comments that got them banned?
